P.K. Subban’s contract situation with the Montreal Canadiens remains up in the air, but there could be some movement on it Monday, with Subban expected to meet with his agent, Don Meehan, in Toronto, the Globe and Mail reported.

While that haggling continues on years and dollars (Subban wants more of both, and the Habs want less of both for their budding star), there is no sense that the standoff is indicative that the team wants to say goodbye to the 23-year-old defenseman, the Globe and Mail notes.

While the Canadiens are off to a 3-1 start without him (and rank fifth in the NHL on power-play percentage), there are depth concerns with the team, the Globe and Mail reported. Any Canadien blue-liner that gets hurt could expose that lack of depth. And that could play into Subban’s hands.

Maybe Monday’s meeting will spur some new thoughts and get Subban back on the ice. Then again, with both sides dug in deeply, it figures to be difficult.
